HONOURED MEMBER RIP
Yesterday the Historical Breechloading Smallarms Association (HBSA) held their annual Bisley lecture and the theme was WWI. In addition to two excellent speakers, Dr.Dieter Storz of the Bavarian Military Museum and David Thomas, there was a display of WWI arms and equipment.

I showed a display of British WWI SAA and have attached a few photos for interest.

Regards
TonyE

Oh my! A Villar Perosa (3rd pic, lower right, double barrel)! Please tell us it wasn't horribly de-milled.
 
Here are some more pics, including a better one of the Villa Perosa.

Unfortunately Slick, it has been doctored.

Also some photos from my ammo display.

regards
